Thread: User Manual for Emco fb2

Hi,
Just in the process of purchasing a copy of the Emco fb2 and looking for a user manual.
If anyone has one I'd be greatfull for a copy.

Is this any use?

That's great thanks.
Just need a user manual.
I think one of the lead screws needs attention as you can turn the handle through 180 deg before the table moves.

I have a Frejoth-FV320T, a Taiwanese clone of the FB2, together with a grab-bag of various data sheets, including some of the original FB2 manual.

It may take a week or so, but I should be able to scan and submit what I have that is particular to the mill.
There is a lot of generic details not pertinent to a hand-book.

If you have an urgent inquiry on a particular matter, PM with the question.

John.

Thanks John,
I'm in no great rush.
I believe the backlash needs fixing though.
I did read that the original lead screw and nuts were quite soft and should be replaced with phos bronze.
Will have to look into that one.

Here's one a gentleman in Utrecht, Holland sent me tonight for starters but John's may be in English. Not much on it in the way of how things are put together. I think the parts manual is a better one for what you are looking for.

I have English version, but it's 33MB, too big for here I think.
Send your postal address by personal message and I'll send you a disc.

That would be awesome.

I've pm'd you a Dropbox link to upload it to if that is easier.
Let me know if you haven't received anything via pm.

Thanks again.

Hi I have an English version of the manual came with my machine when new, if you PM me with your email I will scan and send you the user and maintenance pages, the others are the same as the pdf's already posted Cheers John

Hi John,
I already sent him an English language manual, to his Dropbox as requested.

Anyone know the best place to put documents etc so they can be easily found?

The owner of the forum might be able to setup an upload/storage area for manuals. Although there are plenty of free file storage websites.

Are any of the free storage sites easy to fine, say with Google?

Zippyshare, rghost are 2 I found. Search free file storage or free cloud storage.

You could try this link to EMCO Hobbymaschinen ----- EMCO Hobbymaschinen Downloads

They've got manuals online for download for some of the Emco machines. If what you're after is not available for download, email them and ask if they can email you a copy, or upload a copy to their website.

What I mean is, if someone put a rare document "X" on some web storage site, then someone else put "X" in a search engine, would it reliably find and show where it is? I was wondering if there are storage sites that are better than others in this way?
